Krill oil is considered one of the best sources of omega-3s for dogs, and for several scientific and physiological reasons.
The quality of our capsules makes all the difference!
🐟 Why is krill oil the best source of omega-3s for our dogs?
1. Highly Bioavailable Omega-3s
Krill oil contains omega-3s (EPA and DHA) linked to phospholipids, whereas in traditional fish oil (salmon), they are linked to triglycerides.
➡️ Phospholipids are better absorbed by the dog's body, which means less product is needed for superior efficacy.
2. A powerful natural antioxidant: astaxanthin
Krill oil is naturally rich in astaxanthin, a very powerful antioxidant that protects cells against oxidative stress.
➡️ It protects omega-3s from oxidation (unlike fish oil which quickly goes rancid) and supports immunity, vision, and cellular health.
3. Odor and taste appreciated by dogs
Krill oil has a less strong marine odor than fish oil, and a naturally appealing flavor for dogs.
➡️ Ideal for easy administration, even for picky dogs.
4. Multiple clinical benefits
-
Joints: reduction of inflammation, relief from osteoarthritis.
-
Skin and coat: reduction of itching, shinier coat.
-
Brain and cognition: support for cognitive functions, especially in older dogs.
-
Heart and liver: cardioprotective and hepatoprotective effect.
5. A more sustainable source than fish
Krill comes from regulated fisheries in Antarctica, with a lower ecological impact than fish oils from overfishing.
➡️ An ethical option that respects marine resources.
At ELEMENT VET, the environmental aspect is one of our priorities.
Eco-Harvesting is an exclusive technology developed to harvest krill in a sustainable and environmentally friendly way. Our Krill oil is MSC certified. This certification guarantees that marine resources are harvested using sustainable methods and that all products are traceable throughout the supply chain.
✅ In summary
Krill oil is a superior source of omega-3s for dogs, thanks to:
-
Improved absorption
-
Natural protection against oxidation
-
Proven health effects
-
Optimal palatability
-
A more sustainable approach
